Yesterday, I was very happy : PJ (MrsLubner) could immediately identify the Morrocan music instrument in my picture ! So, today, your challenge is : Can you identify this one, faster than PJ ? LOL Thank you for your comments on my previous upload :

Je pense que c'est un guenbri (gendri)... J'aime bien ta composition sur cette photo et aussi une bonne idée de faire sortir ce personnage du cadre. J'aurais peut-ètre essayer de mettre en plus flou les éléments qui sont derrière cet artiste. Bizzzzzzzzzzz

My guess, since I've not seen these before but heard about them is that it is the Jawzah - a four-string, spike-fiddle with a sound box that is part of a coconut shell covered with skin, although this looks like one heck of a BIG coconut - I originally thought it was a thick-type of long-neck gourd. And, once again, this character portrait is really rich in emotion, personality and fabulous new lessons in another culture.

Très belle composition et beau postwork. Encore un superbe portrait. Je me demande bien à quoi sert le petit poignard qu'il porte avec lui : il n'est pas très rassurant :-) Bon week-end Virginie

I can't imagine how they play the instruments you have shown. The sound in the busy streets must have been wonderful. Fine shot!

Très belle image Michel. Tout comme Valérie, je pense aussi qu'un arrière plan un peu plus flou aurait apporter un plus à la photo.

Ah le beau relief ! L'aoud ici assez artisanal a de très belles sonorités (je pense à une chanson de Cohen : Who by fire dans son CD "Cohen Live...je vais te l'envoyer). Bravo encore
